All You Can Eat Pasta For 7 Weeks For $100

Olive Garden is bringing back its $100 all-you-can-eat-for-seven-weeks deal, aiming for the same buzz it generated last time. They will go on sale their website Thursday at 2 p.m. ET.

The passes entitle the bearer to as much protein-topped pasta and soda as they want until Nov. 9. The pasta can be topped with chicken, shrimp or the other meat options available to customers paying regular prices for their meals.

The first time Olive Garden ran the promotion, passes sold out in less than an hour. The offer reportedly drew 550,000 visits to Olive Garden’s website.

At least 50 buyers resold their coupons on eBay and other auction sites for as much as $300 until Olive Garden clarified that only the original purchaser could wield the pass.

The restaurant will also be offering family passes this year. There will be 1,000 sold at $300 each and will allow the cardholder to bring up to three guests. In both cases, cards are not transferrable, so the cardholder must be present.

The promotion became a social sensation, mentioned by talk-show hosts and figuring heavily into social-media conversations and blogged commentary. The passes were offered at the same time as this year’s version.

If you weren’t able to get one of the passes, don’t feel bad. It was almost impossible to get one. The online promotion that’s developed a cult-like following ended almost as fast as it began this year. That’s because the 2,000 passes sold out in less than a second. Yes, you read right. Less than one second.

However, there’s at least two lucky Olive Garden fans that claim they were able to score more than one pass.
